Motorola Planning 2GHz Android Phone For Later This Year 183

rocket97 writes "On Wednesday, at the Executives Club of Chicago, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha reportedly decided to chat about the relatively near future of the mobile landscape as he sees it — which, in part, includes the ultimate demise of mobile computers in favor of highly-capable smartphones. This being his vision, Jha discussed Motorola's plans for a smartphone with a 2GHz processor — by the end of this year. While Jha did not want to divulge any further information, Conceivably Tech cites another anonymous Motorola executive who was a little more chatty, talking up a device intended to 'incorporate everything that is technologically possible in a smartphone today.'"

I don't know about my Droid brethren, but I'm pretty excited to see the new series of Android ROMs for the Droid phone that are based on a stock Android 2.1. As most of us know, the existing 2.1 ROMs can be buggy as hell and either running vanilla 2.1 or a custom ROM; but this phone is still a tinkerer's best friend."

As someone who usually browses /. and seldom posts, I felt I needed to comment on the (what I perceive to be) strange phenomenon that is a tech focused community that seems to hate new tech.

Its starting to feel like the prominent opinions on this are shifting toward "New tech is pointless since old tech works fine for me" and away from "Lets imagine/design/build it because its neat and might have potential!"

It's becoming tiresome for me to read about some new tech that looks like it might be cool, only to have 80% of the comments by what I thought were tech enthusiasts calling it pointless or lame, instead of suggesting what great things it might lead to, or even just some optimism that it might just be cool.

Just my two cents.
